“Y-you're right......he may come if I be a good child.” For the sake of Tohka and the others who are hoping for a Christmas present, Shido makes an effort for being the Santa. And due to a certain reason, Santa Kurumi also manifests on the Christmas Eve!? The third volume of the short stories collection!!

Miku's manager, Kurebayashi Tsubaru, has a little accident in the morning.

Izayoi Miku vs. Asakura Hiyori to become the artist for World Anime Expo's official image song.

Shiori Penalty

“Shiori-chan” transferred into Shido’s class as his cousin. Origami then went into her paparazzi mode and started taking pictures of him while Tohka tried to stop her.

The day before:

Shido and Kotori were about to go shopping. Shido complained as Kotori took too much time preparing (partly to hide his embarrassment of seeing his sister’s cute figure).

Kotori turned into her Commander Mode and started lecturing him about how girls need to prepare for everything and boys wouldn’t understand that. Thus, Shido eventually gave in and said that he understood now.

Kotori was still mad and said that he needed to understand a girl’s usual problem directly as “Shiori-neechan” with an evil smirk.

Using his weakness, aka his shameful past, she forced him to swear to be a girl for one day.

Natsumi Teaching

Mana Research

Mana comes to visit her brother (a once in a while visit)… and noticed that the number of girls just increased.

She got herself introduced to the other Spirits (Yamai sisters, Miku, Natsumi) and got a huge misunderstanding about their relationships with Shido.

And thus, Mana wanted Shidou to take the responsibility by choosing one out of the eight girls (plus Origami) since having many girls is a no-no.

Cat Cafe A Live

Tohka and Shido went to a "cat cafe" by Tohka's request and met Kurumi (real pretending to be clone) playing with some cats.

Kurumi (clone pretending to be real) came immediately and retrieved her clone (pretending) and left before anyone can say anything.

Kurumi (real) plans to put up some precaution next time while her clone couldn't voice any opinions on that matter.
